Anyone celebrating the holiday during work today?

What is the current entry level salary for a designer in NYC at a smaller but creative shop and what is the standard benefit package that comes with that? 2 weeks vacation, 5 sick days, insurance?

Taking some time off over the next few weeks and decided to start potty training my two year old. Any tips/tricks that have worked for any moms on here? TIA! :)

Did I just email a doc reviewer for the Secretary of State to ask whether the coworker who’d been assigned to my documents was on vacation? Yes. Did my documents get filed and sent to me immediately? Yup. Sometimes passive-aggressive behavior really does get you where you need to be.

European fish - going on a trip Wednesday to Sunday in the EU. PTO this week, but not next. Are you one to bring your laptop on the trip in case if absurd circumstance, corona etc. or leave it at home and just bring work phone?

How often do you take vacation? Once a month? One week every couple of months? Never?

Hello all!

Changing from Vacation and Sick Time to just plain PTO starting in Jan. Staff can save up to 40hrs of their accrued Sick Time banks to use in 2022 in addition to their new PTO.

We have a part-time employee with more than 40 sick hours who will try to use as much of their Sick Time as they can before Jan 1. If this person has an avg weekly schedule of 17.5 hrs, can we stop them using sick time if their sick + work time will take them over their 17.5 scheduled hours?

Thanks!!

Taking an extended vacation - anyone have good book recommendations? Fiction, not too dark, easy / fast reads, books you couldn’t put down. Thanks!

Is it unethical as realtors working in an office to block chunks of time off for personal reasons? Some of my coworkers stay in their desks for up to 10 hours, but I've taken up the habit of blocking at least 1 hour daily for lunch, breaks, and other issues that may arise. Do you do this as well or do you prefer to work straight through your day?

Which Job Offer Would You Pick? I’m fortunate enough to have recently received 2 job offers. Which would you pick based on the following information?:

Job Offer 1 - Salary: 10,000 more per year than Job Offer 2, less PTO than Job Offer 2, better work place culture

Job Offer 2 - Salary: 10,000 less per year than Job Offer 1, more PTO than Job Offer 1, better benefits than Job Offer 1

Job duties are comparable. Feel free to ask questions to help you decide! Thanks for weighing in!

Policy saying India being a country where one can’t do any client work while on personal time off. There is no flexibility in this especially when huge number of Indians work in KPMG US offices. What are other firms doing?

I took spontaneous PTO (4 days but really 3 days as I worked a bit today) (also, I was highly encouraged by my mentor at the firm to take PTO this week before busy season hits next week.) I came back and got scolded for not letting my reviewer know (a partner btw). I was planning to work on the engagement next week. I feel awful and cried after reading the partner’s email. I’m still uneasy. Yes, I made a mistake but the email just made me feel awful. The worst part is that (Cont.)

My co-worker is so resentful and competitive because I was promoted over her last year which caused a demotion on her end. People in the company still go to her for things that should be for me but she rarely corrects them. Shes still involved in the company too in a way that allows her to know secrets that I should know about but never do. I technically am above her within the company but this is how things are. I just do my job and try to not let it bother me but it does. Any suggestions?

My best friends dog passed over the rainbow bridge this morning. Was thinking about sending a small gift but not sure if that’s weird. If I do, any thoughts to help cheer her up and keep his memory?

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
